Head and Shoulders Pattern

Three peaks, with a higher middle peak, form the familiar head-and-shoulders shape. Learn the idea, then try a free trading decision game.

Quick answer

Three peaks, with a higher middle peak, form the familiar head-and-shoulders shape. The lows between them define a neckline. A move through that line may support a reversal idea, but symmetry does not predict the future.

A decision to think through

Sketch the neckline before the break. Compare an unfinished third peak with a confirmed break and a failed break back above the line.
